Predicting the Dynamic Behaviour of Hydrobushings

A novel and promising approach for the prediction of the dynamic stiffness of hydrobushings is presented, combining Finite Element and CFD methods. The rubber structure of the mount is modelled in ABAQUS and the flow of fluid through the inertia track is calculated in FLUENT. The obtained results fr...
